Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Italians use the word “piacione” to describe a wine with irresistible intensity, softness and complexity. This is a piacione, or super-pleasurable wine, in the most positive meaning of the word. It shows loads of depth, personality and endurance. You’ll love the vanilla chocolate and bright cherry finish.

Cherry, red apple, spice and moist tobacco emerge from the nose of this Brunello Riserva. The wine offers impressive intensity and density in the mouth and the finish is long lasting and very enjoyable.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here’s a fortunate Brunello that is redolent of all the best aromas the wine has to offer: blackberry, plump cherry, pressed violets and exotic spice. There’s a slightly sweet and pulpy quality to the mouthfeel that helps drive this wine smoothly over the palate.

La Fortuna’s Rosso offers contrasting aromas of spice, red apple, wild berry, bramble and cherry liqueur. It boasts a deep ruby color and in the mouth, it feels pointed and edgy.

La Fortuna Red Blend - 2004

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Potent, tight and condensed on the nose, with a blast of woody smoke. Brighter on the palate, where cherry and plum ride high and confident. This is a lively, fresh wine with an extended finish of cherry, plum and licorice. It also shows a raw, leathery streak, good tannins and solid aging ability. Imported by Star Industries Inc.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Smoky and dark, with potent char and tar elements to the bouquet. Look for sweet cherry and plum flavors floating on a bed of soft, smooth tannins. And in the end there’s a heaping of chocolate and espresso. This is like a liquid dessert for adults. Imported by Star Industries Inc.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
La Fortuna shows beautiful balance with pretty mineral nuances that stay delicately in the background of black fruit, wild berries, new leather and licorice. The mouthfeel is bright and filled with lively fruit flavors with firm structure and a long finish.
